Ravel needed only two weeks of intensive concentration to orchestrate his piano suite Valses nobles et sentimentales, which was given its premiere performance in March 1911. Consisting of seven waltzes and one epilogue, the work stamped Ravel as a creative personality whose masterpiece breathed an unbelievably new kind of musicality and incredibly intensive poetry. Let us not forget that this was twelve years before La Valse, with which it shares a number of similarities. The new edition of the complete performance material in Breitkopf's Urtext series was prepared by the Ravel expert Jean-Francois Monnard.A l'exemple de Schubert - Ravel re-invents the waltz, inspired by Liszt, Chopin, Schumann and Chabrier, transforming the rhapsodic gyrations of the dance and sending it whirling into the 20th century.

Avalo n–Long Live the King is a medieval fantasy piece depicting the Isle of Avalon where the mystical sword Excalibur of King Arthur was forged. Composer Tyler Arcari unearths a solid piece for young bands that is both bold and dramatic. This piece is sure to spark the imagination of students and give them strong musical content with which they can develop their musicianship.Program Notes:Avalon–Long live the King began its journey as a commission in honor of a dear friend and mentor. David Riggs is one of those band directors that just seems timeless. He is a powerhouse with such a stacked resume that it is easy to forget that at the end of the day he enjoys taking long bike rides with his lovely wife and whittling a piece of wood just as much as being a band director. He has touched so many lives and inspired so many people in our field and beyond. I was humbled, and honored, when I was contacted for the commission. To David, I hope that you one day know how much you mean to so many people, including myself.About the piece:The piece is written with a little homage to David’s long tenure at Avalon Middle school in Pace, Florida. He was certainly treated like a king as the band director and rightly so. It seemed only fitting to add a little medieval fantasy. Avalon is a mystical island in the world of King Arthur where the great sword Excalibur was forged.The piece begins lyrically with a slow introduction with melodic material. This melodic motive is used throughout with slight variations depending on the instrument voicing etc. Care should be taken at m. 10 that the Timpani roll helps to bridge our transition from an exposed section to full tutti. Care should be taken so that the tempo change at m. 19 is brisk and avoids the low brass turning into stomping. Accessories like the China cymbal and tambourine can become overpowering. I recommend having students think of these effects as background in order to make sure they don’t POP out. The dynamic changes at mm. 27-35 should be subito similar to orchestral dynamic changes. Avoid unwritten crescendos in this section. Measures 60–64 are a great opportunity to teach those unwritten dynamics that make music so enjoyable as we lead up to the finale. It was originally left blank for some theatrics in the premiere at David’s retirement concert so I know he would enjoy adding some Cholesterol as David would say.Long Live the King!

Die magische Welt König Arturs, Merlins und Mordreds ist die Kulisse, in der Avalon sich abspielt. Befremdliche Eröffnungstakte geleiten plötzlich in eine andere Welt. Eine choralartige Melodie symbolisiert die Prozession der Gäste, allen voran der mächtige Magier Merlin. Das sonst so friedliche Avalon wird schlagartig mit Ostinato-Figuren und bitonalen Motiven des Mordred und seinem Haufen in Aufruhr gebracht. Aber nach einer energischen Rede König Arturs klingen erste Takte in einem glissando an — und wir sind zurück in der realen Welt. Hier ist die Reise ins Totenreich zu Ende und ein Traum vorbei.Avalon< /I> est une pièce dont le décor et les personnages sont empruntés aux légendes arthuriennes. L’œuvre débute par quelques mesures surprenantes qui nous font entrer subitement dans un autre monde. Une mélodie produisant l’effet d’un chœur représente la procession des fantômes et des esprits qui vivent dans l’île magique d’Avalon, avec, leur tête, le puissant magicien Merlin. Soudain, des figures ostinato et des phrases bitonales expriment la tentative d’une horde maléfique conduite par Mordred d’envahir le monde paisible d’Avalon. Après que le Roi Arthur soit intervenu avec force, on entend un glissando qui rappelle les toutes premières mesures, et… noussommes de retour dans le monde réel. Le voyage se termine et un rêve prend fin.

Cyri l Scott’s music is currently the subject of major revival, having lain largely ignored for much of the 20th Century. Once described as 'the father of modern British music' by Eugene Goossens, and admired by Claude Debussy, Richard Strauss, Igor Stravinsky and his lifelong friend Percy Grainger, he composed four hundred works including: four Symphonies, three Operas, two Piano Concertos, four Oratorios, Concertos for Violin, Cello, Oboe and Harpsichord, several Overtures, Tone Poems, many Chamber works and innumerable songs.There is a story that when Bernard Shaw commented to Elgar on the (then) daring harmonies of his Second Symphony Elgar replied 'You mustn’t forget, it was Cyril Scott started all that!'.'a pioneer of British piano music, producing more piano works in the period 1903-1914 than any other British composer and any other international one, with the exception of Scriabin... (He) was a key figure before World War I in helping Britain to break away from musical conservatism and the prevailing Germanic influences.' (Lisa Hardy, The British Piano Sonata 1870-1945).

Vals d'la Masca; Il racconto della Montagna; Sequenze sotterraneeTh e Alpinia Suite was commissioned and composed for the festival <> and is dedicated to my friend and colleague Elio Galvagno. It was performed for the first time on August 30, 2011, in the Church of San Giovanni in Saluzzo, by an ensemble of professional and student guitarists from all over Europe. This piece was written to commemorate the first ascent of mount Monviso, by William Mathews, Frederick Jacomb, Jean Baptiste Croz and Michel Croz, exactly 150 years before, on August 30, 1861.The first movement is a small Waltz. I imagined a Masca (a sort of alpine pixie, a teasing sprite), dancing all around the house and playing tricks, mostly harmless and funny. The Masca is a legendary and very important character in the folklore of my valleys, and all rationally inexplicable events of everyday life are ascribed to her - such as objects that cannot be found anymore, holes in flour sacks, salt in sugar bowls...The next two movements are a homage to the Mountains. The Tale is a sort of journal, a bright and peaceful chronicle of a hike uphill, in which the beauty of the place is highlighted by an easy harmony and a sweet melody. After this, Underground sequences evokes that same world in a darker and nocturnal way; the faster pace and the choice of repeated and varying patterns are meant to show the transformation of the former environment into something more complex and tormented. Here mountains are a metaphor of human life, warts and all: their sundrenched slopes and their green pasture grasslands, but also their icy and dangerous northern sides, which demand calm, training and caution.(G. Signorile).

Just a year after the English rock band The Zutons had considerable success with Valerie in Great Britain, Mark Ronson and Amy Winehouse released a cover version - a version that was funkier, more upbeat and, in typical Winehouse fashion, more soulful, which shot up the charts in many countries. Valerie is surely one of the hits that immortalises the singer who died in 2011 and will find a welcome place in the repertoire of every concert band.Een jaar na het grote succes dat de Engelse rockband The Zutons in eigen land had met Valerie, verscheen de coverversie van Mark Ronson en Amy Winehouse. Deze vlotte, funky versie in soulstijl, zo typisch voor Amy Winehouse, veroverde in snel tempo de hitlijsten van vele landen. Het is een blijvende herinnering aan de veel te jong overleden zangeres. Met dit arrangement van Valerie presenteren wij een onsterfelijke hit die niet mag ontbreken aan uw repertoire!Bereit s ein Jahr nachdem die englische Rockband The Zutons mit Valerie einen beachtlichen Erfolg in Großbritannien hatten, kam die Coverversion von Mark Ronson und Amy Winehouse heraus. Die funkigere, flottere und - typisch für Amy Winehouse - souligere Version des Songs eroberte rasch die Charts in vielen Ländern. Valerie ist sicherlich einer der Hits, die das Andenken an die 2011 verstorbene Sängerin unsterblich machten und gehört damit in das unterhaltsame Repertoire jedes Blasorchesters.Un e seule année s’est écoulée entre la sortie de la chanson Valerie, interprétée par le groupe de rock anglais The Zutons, qui eu beaucoup de succès au Royaume-Uni, et la reprise de Mark Ronson et Amy Winehouse. Plus funky, plus optimiste et typiquement plus «winehousienne», cette version soul a rapidement conquis les hit-parades de nombreux pays. L’arrangement de Peter Kleine Schaars rend hommage la grande chanteuse décédée en 2011, avec ce titre récréatif et pétillant de fraîcheur !Appena un anno dopo aver ottenuto un buon successo con Valerie, nell’interpretazio ne della rock band britannica The Zutons, Mark Ronson la riadattò con suoni jazz e con atmosfere vintage pensando bene di completare il tutto con la bellissima voce di Amy Winehouse. Questa versione si catapultò in vetta alle chart di molti paesi e rimane a oggi un ricordo struggente della straordinaria artista scomparsa nel 2011.
